Description

This book began as an answer to power.


In the face of the undeniable, it became a reckoning.


Of the lies that are lived to feel belonging.


Of the lies that are told to hide shame.


Of the lies that are believed to remain within illusions.


Well Played is a warning to the present, a welcoming of the truth, and a poet working to earn a way beyond power.

Reviews

"The poetry in Beau Sia's Well Played are fearless, hard-hitting, uncompromising. His own unflinching self-reflection on race, colonialism, assimilation, representation, white supremacy, identity is a ever-shifting kaleidoscope of words, timelines, and layers of being that spin into something like a survival guide, a trickster's song, a call to action, an incantation for a kinder and more just world." --Yumi Sakugawa, author of Your Illustrated Guide to Becoming One with the Universe
